With 22,376 artists, boasting 99,212 tracks, the CBC Radio 3 web site is the absolute ultimate authority, and the home, of independent music in Canada. With that massive library along with tools for members (free to join!), we’re taking advantage of what they’ve set up by bringing you a fresh batch of music every week featuring local groups who have tracks (entire albums, even!) on the R3 site.

This week we’re proud to bring you a guest playlist put together by Vancouver’s own Babe Rainbow. If you know Warp Records then you know Babe Rainbow and you know that it’s Cameron Reed behind it… and you know that it’s awesome.
